Blacks who jump on Bloomberg gravy train give cover to billionaires and lip service to the people. Bloomberg’s only motivation is to help DNC elites stop Bernie Sanders-Black Agenda Report, “Negroes for Bloomberg”

Bloomberg knows what motivates black people’s political activity. He was smart enough to apologize for the stop and frisk policies that ruined people’s lives. He was shrewd enough to know that calling his $70 billion bribe the Greenwood Initiative, and announcing it in the place where a black community was destroyed by racist mobs. Bloomberg knew he would get buy-in from those who had already showed a willingness to sell out.

“Bloomberg knew he would get buy-in from those who had already showed a willingness to sell out.”

But the disgust at the surrender cannot be overstated. The fact that Michael Bloomberg can still set foot in black churches is proof of the degree of rot in black politics. We certainly have black politicians, but our politics have been ground into the dirt by decades of right wing reaction and the implosion of the once progressive black leadership. Of course Bloomberg isn’t the first person to use money to buy influence and votes. The dismal state of the once progressive bastion that was black politics isproof that money talks.

The Democratic Party trap has disfigured the historical black consensus long enough. It is time to jettison Bloomberg and the lackeys who love him.Not only is the Greenwood Initiative a disgraceful effort to pimp our history,but its promise of creating black owned businesses is a throwback to the days when black capitalism was still considered viable. He is forced to take action because the very premise of capitalism is being called into question. Instead of leading the way at this historic juncture, some black politicians are making common cause with one of the billionaire criminals who have created so much suffering.

Comment: What does Ms. Kimberley think about the fact the US War Machine controls this country, that even if Bernie Sanders promised to remove all US troops and all US funded contractors from the Middle East they’d never let him do it?
